Getting started
1 Remove any stickers and wipe the body of the toaster with a damp cloth.
 Before you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you to let the appliance complete a
few toasting cycles without slices of bread on the highest browning setting in a properly
ventilated room.
This burns off any dust that may have accumulated on the heating elements and prevents unpleasant
smells during toasting.
Using the toaster
1 To adjust the length of the cord, wind part of it round the brackets in the base of the
appliance (Fig. ).
 Put the appliance on a stable and flat surface, away from curtains and other combustible
materials.
 Put the plug in the wall socket.
The browning setting lights light up quickly from left to right and back a few times until the
,
fourth browning setting light lights up continuously. This is the default browning setting.
If the toaster has not been used for 10 minutes, it goes into sleep mode. In this case, all
,
indication lights go off. To reactivate the toaster, press any button. The light of the last
selected browning setting then lights up again.

Toasting bread

Never let the toaster operate unattended.
1 Put one or two slices of bread in the toaster (Fig. ).
For the best toasting results, always put the slices in the centre of the slots.
 Press the + or - button to select the desired browning setting. (Fig. )
- Select a low setting (1-2) for lightly toasted bread and a high setting (5-8) for darkly toasted
bread.
- To select a lower browning setting for lighter toast, press the – button one or more times
- To select a higher browning setting for darker toast, press the + button one or more times.
The light of the selected browning setting lights up.
,
 Push down the toasting lever to switch on the appliance. (Fig. 5)
The toasting lever only stays down when the appliance is connected to the mains.
The stop button lights up.
,
When the toast is ready, it pops up and the toaster switches off automatically.
